Motivation: Rine wants to be a famous dancer, using her dancing abilities. However, the one time she did get a gig at a large fancy restaurant in Manehatten, she froze up and ran off the stage. Now she practices in a small bar, where she is slowly trying to overcome her stage fright and hopefully eventually achieve her dream.
Strengths:
*Tambourine is an excellent dancer, using her wings to help herself balance as she dances on her hind legs, and occasionally does slow motion flips. Her dancing is often accompanied by more alternative music, like maracas and cellos.
*She is very quiet and easy to get along with for the most part.
Weaknesses/Flaws:
*She can be a bit of a pushover sometimes, often going out of her way to please others.
*Tambourine is a very poor flyer, and actually hardly ever flies aside from the little bit she does when dancing. Because of this her wings are very weak.
Fears:
*She is deathly afraid of hight, panicking when she gets more than a few feet off of the ground. So she never flies aside from the few inches in dancing.
*She is also afraid of large crowds, and gets stage fright pretty easily when dancing. This has caused her more than one failure, the biggest when she was able to preform in Manehatten but fled the stage after seeing how many ponies were there.
Overall Persona: Tambourine is a very agreeable character, she goes out of her way to please and is very quiet. She is not shy at all, smiling at anyone she sees, and loves to listen when ponies approach her. Her passion is dancing, but until she gets enough courage to dance in front of crowds she shall be stuck in her little bar.
Background:
Tammy was born in Fillydelhpia as an only foal. She grew up with both of her parents attention and did not have any huge conflicts in the beginning of her life. As she grew older she developed a love for music, and tried to play an instrument. No matter how hard she tried she just could not do it well enough to go anywhere with it, so she tried singing. And singing was worse. Despite private lessons, Tambourine did not possess the musical talent that a lot of ponies who love music have.
Upset and defeated, she sulked in her room for many weeks, until they got a traveling group that consisted of a cello player, a drummer and a dancer. After seeing the dancer's performance, Tambourine immediately knew what her calling was. At once she started dance lessons and found her gift, and her cutie mark.
From then on Tammy never really stopped dancing, she preformed in front of very very small crowds, making her nervous but she was able to get through it. Soon, her talents were recognized and a restaurant owner invited her to preform in Fillydelhpia. Of course, Tambourine eagerly accepted and started to get her routine down.
When the day came and she stepped out on the stage, the pegasus found out in the more terrible way she had stage fright. The mare couldn't remember what she was planning on doing! She fled the stage, hoping to never have to go through that again. So she has contented herself with just dancing at small bars, slowly moving to more crowded ones in hopes of facing her fears of crowds.
